Seven Months

Ainsley and Benson are seven months old!  They are really more and more fun every day.  One of our favorite times with them now is first thing in the morning.  Ben usually wakes up first but he doesn't cry, he just babbles in his crib.  Jeremy goes down and makes bottles around 5:45am and then we go in their room to feed them.  Ainsley is usually still asleep.  She has started sleeping on her stomach and she tucks her legs up underneath her and sticks her butt up in the air...adorable!  As soon as Ben sees you he will start smiling SO BIG, totally melts your heart! 

Ainsley - you are definitely our BIG girl!  At your last appointment you were 15lbs 14oz and I'm sure you are over 16 pounds now.  You are eating well and have done great with baby food.  You have a bottle in the morning, a small bottle and oatmeal with fruit around 9:30am, a small bottle and a vegetable around 1:30pm, cereal with a vegetable and fruit at 5:00pm, and a bottle at bedtime.  There haven't really been any foods you won't eat so far.  You are a good sleeper and will usually nap in the morning and afternoon and still sleep from about 8:00pm to 6:00am.  You are wearing 6-9 month clothes and Size 3 diapers.  You love to stand up and jump in your bouncer.  You are not so much a fan of laying down, you would rather be up and able to see everything that is going on!

Benson - you are our HAPPY boy!  You are almost always happy and smiley and giggly and we love it!  Your last weight check was at your six month appointment but I would say you are probably about 15 & 1/2 pounds.  You are longer than your sister but still pretty skinny.  You are doing great with baby food.  You eat and eat and love everything but peas and green beans.  You make quite the funny face when we give you those!  You have a bottle in the morning, a small bottle and oatmeal with fruit around 9:30am, a small bottle and a vegetable around 1:30pm, cereal with a vegetable and fruit at 5:00pm, and a bottle at bedtime.  You don't nap very much during the day, usually only about 20 minutes at a time.  You do great sleeping through the night from about 8:00pm to 6:00am.  You are wearing 6-9 month clothes and Size 3 diapers.  You don't want to stand up yet, you are much more content to lay around and play or sit in an exersaucer.  You are so good at entertaining yourself!

We love you two so much!
